from what i have seen, the rates and the drop for a 240 just aren't even worth considering. they are barely over stock springrate, and from the pictures i have seen the drop is hardly noticeable.

i wish i could give you a good alternative choice, but i haven't dug too deep into nissans. i'd suggest swaybars instead, and from what i have seen suspension techniques work well, or if you want adjustable go with whiteline, but you need to upgrade the endlinks since the ones they provide are garbage.

save up some more and get some teins or something.. just putting springs on the 240's makes them handle like boats still..

perhaps i have only seen one of the 2 types of eibach's...i can never remember wether the prokit or the sportlines are the better of the two.

yes, i think the drop you say they will give is plenty sufficient, but the springrates that i have seen are incredibly lackluster.

i had sportlines on my s13 w/ kayaba buzz specs and the drop was perfect but the the spring rate was not stiff enough by far. i have tein he's now and i like the for street use but for the autox event i entered they were just not as stiff as i would have liked them but they were almost there. anyway take it to zilvia.net or freshalloy.com you will get better advice ther. if you want sportlines go w/ agx kyb's and you will be set. h&r are better i think though

I have them in my 240 and they are ok. They do take a hell of a long time to settle like a month or so.

Here are pics the day after they were installed. They have dropped another inch and a bit since then, which is about 8 months.
